THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 My lighting upgrades came in this week. Installed them this morning before work. Later on today I'll get a good night shot with them. Big difference in color and getting rid of the halogens! http://i.imgur.com/izEeS1v.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyGT Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The 2015's are really growing on me... Especially in this color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 how is the ride quality? Im seriously considering selling my OB 3.0r sdn for a 2016 CVT wrx since they are essentially the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's day and night difference from the previous gen, reminds me a lot of the 05-09 LGT. Handles nicely stock and you don't feel too many bumps in the road. Leather seats are nice and the MPG is pretty good, I get about 25 combined with a 60 mile daily commute.

whitetiger Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 reminds me a lot of the 05-09 LGT. thats what i was hoping for and expecting. the new WRX is really the spiritual successor to the 4th gen GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is it a bit bigger inside than previous WRXs? I haven't been inside of a WRX since an 05/06 model. I remember them being smaller than the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 much. It is about the same size as my 2009 Legacy was inside. The GR series WRX all the money was in the performance with a tacky interior. the 2015+ really is the complete package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nice, when I hear legacy GT replacement I still get excited even though I got rid of mine a few years back. I drive trucks now but the wife loved my LGT and I would like her to have something sporty so I can drive it when I am tired of driving a 20 foot long 5500lbs tank.

THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 When they announced this car last year I knew it was what I wanted right away, just a matter of timing. I have almost 2000 miles on the clock now and coming up on doing my break-in oil change. looking forward to seeing what this car is capable of. Biggest complaint and after reading up a lot on clubwrx and other forums, is the 1-2 shift isn't the smoothest. I'm hoping that goes away with time too. Josh if you're looking at this as a DD, don't go with the CVT. I test drove both and liked the 6MT better. Mine is my DD and I sit in Rt. 3 Traffic daily for work, plus when you get on the back roads you can have more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 wife+baby = mandatory automatic trans that is the compromise. I would agree with the auto and baby. The baby will grow up quicker than you think. If I had the extra cash, I would have switched to a manual transmission when my daughter turned 3.

THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 wife+baby = mandatory automatic trans that is the compromise. fair enough, it's still a really fun car, no turbo lag and a really rigid stock suspension setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get my Manual trans kicks from my MX-5 which has better feel and action than anything subaru ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 The 6MT is definitely an upgrade from the 5MT we're all used to previously, not quite as good as the STI 6MT or the 6MT I had in my 335. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RZA Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 this car is a Daily driver, there will be no hellaflush WRX especially living in the northeast. Other than eventually doing an accessport I don't have plans to do other power or suspension modifications. Car drives awesome stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
